Subject: What is the best show in the 70's.
Written By: randbfan23 on 05/21/02 at 04:20 p.m.
I personally like "M.A.S.H", and "All In The Family", even though I am only 20.
In everyone's opinion, what is their favorite show?

Being a obsessed fan of Cat Stevens I have to go with ABC's "In Concert". They ran a complete one and a half hour program of Cat in concert...totally awesome.
But on the regular shows I think that the original season of 'Saturday Night Live' had to be my favorite late night.
On the sitcom category I have to go with "The Partridge Family". I can still remember Friday night at 9:30. I could never miss that show. It had to be David Cassidy's hair that kept me glued every Friday night.
Peace,
A'isha

I am with A'isha! If you are talking about a ONCE IN A LIFETIME SPECIAL, I MUST say the ABC in concert special which THE CAT MAN hosted!
As far as regular TV shows, there were a few that I liked! Little House on the Prairre, Happy Days, Mork and Mindy, and I was quite a fan of GRIZZLY ADAMS!
Peace,Vivian

It was some kind of concert show on really late Saturday nights.
I can remember the night they did a special on Jim Croce.
Even though it was way past phone call hours, I snuck to our phone and called my best friend , we both were crying when they played Time In A Bottle.
Very memorable...I think they may have even shown him with pictures of him and his son.
The best shows are the ones you remember like yesterday!!!

There are many but you cannot go by (well maybe some can)
Randall and Hopkirk(deceased), or even a show called "The Champions"
Also Kolchak, The Night Stalker
Anybody ever hear of these shows and why have they left my life? :( :(

Apologies to everyone. Newcomers always resurrect old threads, and I'm no different, I guess.
The Rockford Files is the best action series in television history, period. James Garner was perfect for television, he exuded charm and likeable-ness. And, RF had a strong supporting cast-- Noah Berry, Stuart Margolin, an occasional appearance by Isaac Hayes.
MASH was fine until Hotlips became a sympathetic character and Alan Alda discovered feminism. Then it became a dreary lump of un-funny agit-prop. All In the Family was ground-breaking. Then it killed Edith (there was a rash of character killings in 70s era television), it morphed into Archie's Place and lost relevance and credibility.

Off the cuff, my very favorites included "Happy Days" and "Jeffersons". Many of the shows mentioned were also very good.

I can remember taking my baths early Sunday night so I could watch The Wonderful World of Disney. The Love Boat, Happy Days, Little House on the Prairre and Hardy Boys are shows I fondly remember. Land of the Lost, Sigmund the Seamonster and Puf N Stuff ROCKED my world when I was growing up in the 70's.
